BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MAY 11, 1922 BEST DAY YET Golden Rule Sale Monday Biggest and Best Day In Years. Golden Rule Sale day Monday was the biggest and best day Barnesville and Lamar county have had yet. The sales of the merchants who had ad vertisements in the Golden R*ule News offering special bargains for the day were highly gratifying, prov ing to quite a number of them the best they have had since these special sales were begun. The merchants got the cash and the customers got bargains with which they were per fectly satisfied. Several merchants took in hundreds of dollars in cash, much of which was the result of pui’- chases on the items mentioned in the special offerings. The day brought men, women and children from terri tory far removed from Barnesville, visitors being present from territory at least fifteen and twenty miles away. It was a great day as to the business done by the merchants. The first sale Miss Mattie Elliott, the enthusiastic woman member of the advertising club, made Monday was to a party from Jacksonville, Fla. A copy of the Golden Rule News had fallen into the hands of this party, somewhere on the way from Jackson ville, and seeing the articles adver tised by Miss Elliott a sale resulted and thus some Jacksonville money was left in Barnesville. This is just 'one of many other similar instances of profit from these Golden Rule Sales. It was a greater day on account of the Hog Sale. Early in the day peo ple began' to arrive with their auto mobiles, wagons and buggies loaded with hogs, all kinds of hogs, in breeds, sizes and colors. The results were astonishing to everybody, for few realized that the hog sale was going to be such an immense success. The members of the Barnesville Adver tising Club and the Lamar Board of Trade, co-operating with Mr. H. A. Cliett, County Agent, and Mr. E. P. Drexell, Vocational Agent, had made every arrangement for weighing, grading and shipping the hogs. Ex actly 196 hogs were brought in and put in the sale. Mr. M. C. Gay, mar ket agent of the State College of Agiculture, was present and graded the hogs. He soon demonstrated that he thoroughly knew his business. Mr. Gay stated that it was a fine lot of hogs, which was proved by the fancy price they brought. The White Provision Cos., Atlanta, bought the entire two cars on the basis of $9.15 per 100 for number Ones. This was much better than the farmers were expecting to receive and everybody was rejoicing over the splendid success of the sale. It has given a big boost to hog industry. The total amount paid for the hogs through the First National Bank was $3,096.61. It was a great day for Barnesville, Lamar county and the farmers and business men. A. & M.

A. Prout died at the fam ily home on Zebulon street early Sun day morning after being an invalid for about three years, much of this time being confined to her bed. It had long been known to her loved ones and friends that she could not get well and that it was only a ques tion of a short time when the in evitable end would come. The funeral was held Monday morning at the First Baptist church of which she was a devout and faith ful member, R'ev. Arthur Jackson, the pastor, conducting the service and paying her a beautiful tribue. He spoke tenderly of the affection which existed in the family and how the different members looked after her every want and rendered her every possible assistance. He told of her abiding faith in her Lord and of how during all her illness she radiated sunshine and cheer to those who were about her. It was a very impressive talk and was appreciated by all who knew the life of the good woman. The floral offerings were especially beautiful and literally covered the rostrum and railing around the choir, presenting a scene which in itself was a lovely tribute to the departed friend and a token of the esteem in which her family was held by the people of the community. The body was laid away in the family lot in Greenwood cemetery. Mrs. Prout was 67 years old. She was one of the best known women of the community. Until her health gave way she was active in the church, social and civic life of the city. She was the life of any gathering of friends and in every good enterprise she more than did her part. She had a happy disposition and had the rare faculty of making everybody around her happy. During all her long ill ness she retained her usual cheerful spirit, never complaining but rather radiating joy among those about her. Through it all, even until the last week of her illness, she directed the affairs of her home, keeping every thing going in proper order,-showing what a remarkable woman she was. Mrs. Prout had hosts of friends and deserved them, all of whom will miss her and mourn her going. She is survived by her husband, Judge W. A. Prout, one of the most respected and honored citizens of Barnesville, one daughter, Mrs. L. S. Fifield, three sons, W. A. Prout, Jr., and Paul and Garland Seaman, to all of whom the tender sympathy of the people of the entire community is ex tended in the great-sorrow which they are called upon to endure on account of the death of this good woman.
